Apparentley there is going to be complete failure of computers and a massive apocalypse, which got me thinking; if there was a failure of computers world-wide, wouldn't DTurbos, in theory still run? Bit long winded I know lol

hmmm would a car without computors run if it had no computors to run on, pretty obvious answer there
and to answer your other question/statement, there will not be any failure of computors tomorrow, I think you're getting mixed up with the millenium bug, tomorrow is an apparent predicted global change though

Oh and, no, your DT wouldn't run for long, you need computers to aid the process of making fuel for it!

Not really, heavy oil distillation isn't THAT hard! DT's - epic Armageddon proof cars.

Yeah i'm guessing if a planet was supposed to collide with us we'd have kinda seen it by now?

Without electrics the DT won't start.
You need some juice to run the starter motor, and some juice for the stop solenoid don't you?

Its all based on the Mayan long count calendar and it coming to an "abrupt" end tomorrow...What people don't tell you is that the long count then starts on it's 13th cycle (it's currently in it's 12th cycle) but just as we change our calendars on December 31st, the long count clicks over to the 13th cycle...Also there is dozens of other calendars for the Maya people that extend much further into the future.
But the whole thing about planetary alignments etc is a load of bull. As is every other theory, NASA debunked the whole scenario, as have 2012hoax.org

I was thinking about this earlier. I'm in Australia. So it gets to the 21st 8 hours before you guys.
Is it going to happen worldwide simultaneously?
Or when wherever the Mayans were located gets to the 21st? (South America?)
